Which of the following is equivalent to the expression above?

\n","rationale_html":"

Choice A is correct. The given expression can be rewritten as \"open. Applying the distributive property, the expression  \"negativecan be rewritten as \"negative, or \"negative. Adding like terms yields \"x. Substituting \"x for  \"negative in the given expression yields \"open. By the rules of exponents, the expression \"open is equivalent to \"open. Applying the distributive property, this expression can be rewritten as \"2, or \"4. Adding like terms gives \"4. Substituting \"4 for \"open in the rewritten expression yields \"4, and adding like terms yields \"4.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Choices C and D may result from rewriting the expression \"open as \"4, instead of as \"4. Choices B and C may result from rewriting the expression \"negative, as \"negative, instead of \"negative.
